Thanks guys! I was a little concerned with how she would handle, but this new style lift is very stable and smooth riding! The 35's changed my stopping just a little so now I have that excuse I needed to install the electric pump and convert my surge brake...lol
 
That truck looks familiar although I don;t have all the high tech gadgets like you!

Thanks. Still looks good for 11 years old and 96k miles.

Bought mine new in late 06 and now has 130k on the clock! She has been the best vehicle I have ever owned! I have a 08 Escalade EXT that just sits because I love my Dmax...lol 500hp and 1000 ft# of torque is very fun around here...lol
 
Bought mine new in 2002. I can't even imagine going back to a gas vehicle.
 
I just picked up this 2005 Avalanche 2500, 8.1L, 56k miles. As expected, its doing much better with the boat than the 1500 Dodge did.

 
Nice truck Mike, I had a 94 1500 w/5.7, one of the best trucks I've ever owned, that's before my DuramaxHD though.........:grin:

I remember that truck. Served you well did it. I'm hoping I get good service from this one. I've already done alot to it, but it needs more. You know me, I can't drive a stock anything.

Yep, 7.4/454 gas burner. Believe it or not that's what I wanted. I sold the Dodge with a Cummins. I just could not pay for overpriced diesel anymore. I did a compairison between my gas burner, and pops cummins. He got 14mpg and I got 10.8mpg towing 4000lbs trailer and load. We thought I would have done worse, and he did better, but it is what it is. Not a very scientific test but good enough for me. So for a difference of 3.2mpg, I can buy an aweful lot of gas for the difference of buying a new truck!! That was my thinking anyways.
 
True on the gas Mike, what I like about the diesel is the torque and the allison tranny, sure helps you slow down. Have fun in the Abacos in July, wish I was going with ya
 
Here's mine. Haven't had a chance to take nicer pictures yet. I'll probably update with better pictures later.

 
Nice set up Hai Nhi. I like the 280da alot.

Thank you. :) I think I like her too. Haven't been out with her a lot yet. But I can't stop visiting her parking in the back of my house. :)
